Chargeback Process (Cont’d)
• Complaint sent to CAFC • CAFC confirms validity of complaint with Right
Holders • Information sent to Credit Card Issuing Bank
for assessment • Chargeback – money removed from Seller’s
merchant account, which is then closed • Product not returned to Seller
Impact • Quasi extraterritorial enforcement • Victims recover 100% of loss • Seller loses sale along with USD $25 chargeback fee per refund • Termination of merchant account • Payment Processor and Merchant Bank fined for high number
of chargebacks • Payment Processor and Merchant Bank could lose access to
credit card network • Further losses to sellers include:
– Loss of product (not returned) – Loss of all production costs per product – Loss of all shipping costs including postage and packaging
Total Complaints/Victims
Counterfeit Victims June 2015 400 July 320 August 320 September 440 October 1000 November 1200 December 1600 January 2016 1400 February 1000 March 660 April 600 May 2016 450
Complaint/Victim Analysis
– 12 months, CAFC sent out over 10,000 confirmations initiating chargeback
– Average loss per consumer approximately CDN $300 - $350 = $2.8/3.3 million total (USD $2.2 million)
– Over 5800 merchant accounts identified world-wide since project began
– Over 5600 merchant accounts terminated to date identified as counterfeit sellers
– Combination of luxury goods (e.g. jackets, pursues, shoes) and sports paraphernalia (e.g. hockey jerseys).
Retail
• Retailer identified and sale confirmed as counterfeit or pirated by Right Holders
• Notification sent by Law Enforcement to Retailer’s Payment Processor or Bank for investigation and termination along with copy of cease-and-desist order
• Banks have zero tolerance for sales of counterfeit or pirated goods
• Past 2 years, approximately 40 retail store merchant accounts closed in Canada
Common Questions • First steps?
– Locate government body/agency to initiate project – Start small; pilot project
• Resources required? Start-up costs? – Low (e.g. under CDN $100,000 or USD $77,000)
• Contacts required? How to find those contacts? – Credit Card Issuing Banks, Law Enforcement, Right Holders, Credit Card Companies
• How to get Law Enforcement, Right Holders, Credit Card Companies, and Banks all working together?
– Build relationships and trust
• Issues that arise? – Convincing Credit Card Issuing Banks to work with Law Enforcement
• Lessons learned? – One step at a time (e.g. one Bank at a time, one Right Holder at a time)

Georgia’s National Experience on Building Respect for Intellectual Property, in Particular Through
Institutional Cooperation on Enforcement Policies and Regimes
prepared by Nikoloz Gogilidze, Chairman, National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia - SAKPATENTI
Geneva, September 6, 2016
INTRODUCTION
Georgian IP legislation fully harmonized with all
international standards and EU acquis
Legal framework for IPR enforcement in place
Until 2012 poor practical implementation of IPR enforcement
INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT
SAKPATENTI - a state agency responsible for determining and carrying out national IP policies
SAKPATENTI plays an important role in coordinating IP enforcement at all levels
To intensify its fight against counterfeiting and to use governmental resources more efficiently SAKPATENTI has identified three priority areas: Institution building and strategy development related to IP
enforcement; Capacity building for state officials responsible for IP enforcement;
and Raising overall public awareness to encourage the private sector to
protect IPRs.
INSTITUTION BUILDING AND STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT RELATED TO IP ENFORCEMENT
Interagency Coordination Council (Council) for IPR Enforcement - established in 2015, under the umbrella of SAKPATENTI
Advisory body which incorporates all government agencies responsible for IPR enforcement
Works on identifying the most vulnerable business sectors impacted by counterfeiting and piracy to set priorities and focus on those sectors
Provides practical support to its member agencies on issues within its competence
Efficient platform for the government institutions concerned to exchange their views on IP enforcement issues, discuss problematic and challenging topics, and explore ways of cooperation.
BUILDING CAPACITIES AND RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS
Training for all IP-related professionals in legal and practical matters related to IP enforcement (judges, prosecutors, police officers, attorneys at law, customs officers, investigators and other groups)
Publishing and disseminating reading material tailored for
different sectors of society (elementary schools, students, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), journalists, farmers, etc.).
International Conference “Georgia Against Counterfeiting and Piracy” held in 2015 and 2016.
RECENT PROGRESS
In recent years, the number of seizures of counterfeit goods by customs has increased significantly:
Year 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Seizure Cases 14 16 50 43 73
80%
8%
12%
Breakdown of results by cases 2015
Destruction of Goods (58 cases)
Release of Goods (6 cases)
Court Cases Initiated (9 cases)
FUTURE PLANS AND CHALLENGES
• Introduce new legislation to address ISP liability; • Conduct a sectoral study on counterfeiting, in order to
identify the most vulnerable sectors of business and focus ex officio enforcement action on the identified sectors;
• Capacity building and awareness raising activities for
different target groups;
• Ensure proper use and interpretation of new legal tools for IP enforcement.

Collectively:
• In 2013, international trade in counterfeit and pirated products represented up to 2.5% of world trade, or an amount of as much as $461 billion USD. This is equivalent to the full GDP of a country such as Austria.
This represents a significant potential economic loss for right holders, governments, and the global economy.
Criminal networks behind the illicit trade derive significant revenues from their activities.
Since the early 1990s, trade in counterfeits has grown at 8 times the rate of legitimate trade.

The National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) initiated Operation Team Player in June 2013 to target the sale and trafficking of counterfeit sports merchandise, apparel and tickets. Throughout the year, HSI field offices determine the
most effective mechanisms to initiate enforcement operations in their area of responsibility. The IPR Center works with the appropriate HSI office to assist in coordinating operations, related press releases and press events for significant sporting events involving all major sports organizations to include the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAA.
Past successful operations have included the targeting of retail stores, flea markets and vendors. Additional targeting is coordinated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection as well as the National Targeting Center to target inbound shipments of counterfeit sports apparel and other items at ports of entry across the United States.
